Pneumatic Safety Lock System

The pneumatic system engages automatic safety locks at any height within the 41.25-inch range. The toothed ladder track and pawl beneath the scissor arm mechanically lock the platform, preventing drop during service. Compressed air-powered release (85-120 PSI required) provides hands-free operation. Combined with the 24V low-voltage control and automatic height limit switch, these safety features meet CE certification requirements.

110V/220V Dual Voltage - 35-Second Rise

Full 41.25-inch lift in 35 seconds using 110V (30A circuit) or 220V commercial power. Aluminum motor housing with integrated cooling fan helps maintain stable operating temperatures during continuous use. Uses ISO 6743/4 HM-class hydraulic oil.

4.25-Inch Collapsed Height

At 4.25 inches when lowered, this mid rise auto scissor lift sits lower than Atlas TD6MR (5.75") and BendPak MD-6XP (4.75"). The low profile accommodates lowered vehicles, sports cars, and modified suspensions. The low approach angle prevents undercarriage damage on vehicles with front spoilers.
